Summary:
The 31792 zip code area is home to 11 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades across two school districts - Thomas County and Thomasville City. While the area has a mix of high and low-performing schools, a few standouts emerge, including Jerger Elementary School and Thomas County Middle School.
Jerger Elementary ranks in the top 12% of Georgia elementary schools and consistently achieves high test scores, with over 60% of students scoring proficient or better on the ELA Milestones assessment. In contrast, other schools like Harper Elementary struggle, with only 15.7% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better in ELA. This performance gap highlights the disparities within the 31792 zip code, where schools serving higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students tend to have lower academic outcomes.
The data also reveals significant differences between the Thomas County and Thomasville City school districts. Thomas County schools generally outperform their Thomasville City counterparts, with higher graduation rates and better test scores. However, spending per student does not always correlate with student achievement, as seen with The Renaissance Center for Academic and Career Development, which has the highest per-student spending but the lowest statewide ranking among high schools in the area.
